Portnoy, showing his appreciation, earned a response from Williams during a live stream on Thursday as she hinted at a collaboration with the critic.

"All I know is imma show love to the people who show love to me. So if he's showing love, then it is what it is—we're going to have a conversation," Williams said. "I'm my own person and I make my own judgment of people. So imma have a conversation with bro, 'cause bruh already talked about it."
